10 Animals That Are Omnivores Omnivores are animals that include both plant and animal matter in their diet. Hence, they are often called "all-eaters." The term omnivore is derived from the Latin words "omni" and "vora" meaning "all" and "to consume." Omnivorous animals belong to different animal groups and may have special anatomical, physiological, and/or behavioral adaptations to cater to their omnivorous nature. Grizzly bears, red foxes, crows, squirrels, etc., are all examples of omnivorous animals. Even we humans are omnivores. Some omnivores and their dietary habits have been mentioned below: Striped Skunk A striped skunk searching for insects in the ground. This black-and-white striped animal is a perfect example of an omnivore, feeding primarily on insects in summer and small mammals, amphibians, fish, and bird eggs in winter while supplementing its diet with corn and nightshade fruits as well. Striped skunks are found throughout most of North America, from southern Raccoon A raccoon enjoying an apple. The raccoon is a species native to North America but has also been introduced in other parts of the world, including several European and Asian countries. Raccoons are highly adaptable and hence, are found in a wide range of habitats, including human-dominated locations. They eat almost anything available, from fruits, seeds, and berries to small animals like rodents, insects, birds, fish, and eggs. Plant matter comprises a greater part of their diet, and they also ...

Introduction This lesson explores the classification system used to identify animals. Most children are fascinated by animals and often have an animal that is a particular favorite, possibly even an animal the child has never seen before. Children also like to order and sort things, and this lesson melds both of these interests. This lesson is specifically designed to move quickly beyond the knowledge level to high-level thinking. This lesson can be taught to an entire classroom or given as a self-directed extension activity. Learning Objectives After completing the lessons in this unit, students will be able to: • Know and understand the seven levels of classification. • Apply that knowledge as they practice classifying animals. • Evaluate and compare the classification of animals. • Devise a classification system for the objects in their homes. • Create a new species and classify it according to the principles of classification. Preparation • Print the lesson plan on a color printer. • Have access to the Internet for student(s). • Gather supplies including paper, pen or pencil, crayons, colored pencils and/or fine-tip markers. Lesson 1: Beginnings Look at the pictures of these animals, then fill in the chart below: (We’ve given you an example.) Choose the two animals from your chart that you think are most similar and justify your choice in one sentence. Lesson 2: Organizing the animals — how it happened Back in the 18th century, a Swedish man named Carolus Linnaeus thou...

Freshwater animals include mammals such as otters, river dolphins and hippos; birds such as dippers, herons and kingfishers; insects such as mayflies, water striders and dragonflies; fish such as bass, lake trout and piranhas, and amphibians such as frogs, newts and the axolotl. On this page is a list including these and many other examples of animals that live in freshwater habitats from all around the world. Freshwater Ecosystems Less than 3% of Earth’s water is freshwater, and much of that is frozen in the form of polar ice caps and glaciers. The percentage of Earth’s water able to support a wide diversity of life is far smaller – in fact, just 0.014% of all Earth’s water is freshwater in the form of rivers, lakes and swamps. ( (You can find out more on these statistics on this page: This tiny proportion of all water is vitally important for life on Earth. For example, 41% of all fish species are found in freshwater – despite 97% of the Earth’s water being saltwater oceans and seas. The majority of mammals, reptiles, birds, amphibians and insects all rely on freshwater to survive. On this page is a list of freshwater animals, all of which live in freshwater habitats such as rivers, lakes, swamps and marshes.

Arctic animals include mammals such as the polar bear, Arctic fox, Arctic hare, caribou / reindeer, musk ox and wolverine; aquatic mammals such as the orca / killer whale, narwhal, beluga whale, walrus and numerous seal species; and birds such as the ptarmigan, bald eagle, Arctic tern and puffin. On this page, you’ll find pictures and facts on these and many other Arctic animals. Despite being one of Earth’s most hostile environments, the Arctic is home to many different species. Many of the Arctic animals on this list have special adaptations that enable them to live either on the frozen Arctic tundra or in the icy waters surrounding the North Pole. Examples of animal adaptations for living in the Arctic include: • thick, multi-layered coat; • fur that changes color with the seasons (providing camouflage against the snow in winter, and the rocky tundra in the summer); • layers of body fat to provide insulation; • seasonal migration between feeding and breeding grounds; • hibernation during the coldest months of the year; • large body size (with a proportionally smaller surface area through which heat can be lost); • small extremities (such as ears, nose, etc.) through which heat can be lost. This list of Arctic animals includes not only species that live within the You can click on the pictures to discover more facts and figures about many of the animals. • View / download a FREE Arctic animals worksheet for this page here: • Want to know more about the Arctic?
